A museum that explores the history of the Jewish community in the South has set an opening date after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience will open May 27 in downtown New Orleans, according to a news release Tuesday. It is located at 818 Howard Ave., blocks away from The National World War II Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the new Culinary and Hospitality Institute and the Southern Food & Beverage Museum.
Multimedia exhibits in the 9,000-square-foot facility explore the ways Jews in the South have been influenced by the cultural heritage of their communities, covering 13 states and more than 300 years of history – including Colonial, Civil War, World War II and the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibits are designed by Gallagher & Associates, who created exhibits at The National World War II Museum and has worked with the National College Football Hall of Fame and the recently opened Sazerac House in New Orleans.

Tilton Gallery opens a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Kennedy Yanko
Kennedy Yanko, Making Light, September 2020. Paint skin, metal, painted wire, 64 x 58 x 21 inches (163 x 147 x 53 cm).
NEW YORK, NY
.-Tilton Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Kennedy Yanko, from April 6th to May 15th, 2021.
Kennedy Yanko continues her ongoing investigation into the combination of the seemingly incongruous materials of metal and paint skins to create voluptuous and unexpected sculptural forms. Salvaged metal, crushed or bent into new forms, is juxtaposed with lushly colored soft-appearing paint skins formulated by the artist to flow organically around or through the harder metal forms, at times seeming to pour out of this less pliant element.
